"A monster? Fool, not realizing it until now. I am one, ever since long time ago." ~ Three

*The next day*
Three's P.O.V.
I walked towards the training grounds, and sat under one of the trees, waiting for my teammates.

"Wake me up when they arrived." Pyro told me, as he closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

I sighed. I hate the fact that the Hatake is always late and I'm always early.

"Morning." Sakura greeted as she walked towards me.

"Mourning." I replied sarcastically, causing her to glare at me.

"I'm just trying to be nice!" she exclaimed, and I rolled my eyes. I nudged Pyro's back.

"The bubble-gum girl is here." I told him.

"What did you call me?!"

"Such a stupid noisy little useless annoying pathetic fan-girl." Pyro grumbled.

"Rude." I whispered.

"What?!" Sakura yelled, and raised her hand, ready to punch Pyro. But I caught her fist.

"Listen. I know you hate me, and I don't like you either, but you have to trust me. If you hit Pyro, he will attack you back. Believe me, when he scratch your face, the scar will be permanent. And I'm sure that you want to keep your face flawless, right?" I warned her.

She scoffed. "Do you expect me to believe that?"

I let out a sigh, and released the Genjutsu that I use to cover my scars.

Sakura's P.O.V.
She just didn't want me to hit the damn wolf!

Then I saw her face, and let out a gasp.

On her face, there's 3 long diagonal scars cutting through her face, from her forehead to her right cheek, crossing her right eye. The scars are not the kind of thin white lines. The scars are deep, and I swear I saw a little part of her flesh. The scars are red, with blood running down from them.

"W-What's that from?" I asked. The scars are scary.

She let out a sigh, and create some handsigns, causing the scars to disappear.

"I got them from Pyro." she said, closing her eyes, while crossing her arms in front of her chest, and leaned on the tree.

"Don't remind me, Three." Pyro snapped.

"I'm just stating the truth."

"That's the problem."

"I know. The truth is always the most bitter one."

Then everything fell silent.

I don't understand. They always talk as is they know everything.

Or, maybe they do?

Three's P.O.V.
I leaned on a tree, closing my eyes. Somehow, those scars always brings back memories.

*Flashback*
Slowly, I unchained myself, and with the remaining chakra I have, I teleported myself away from the torture room. I lied on the ground, in the middle of the forest, trying to calm myself down. I closed my eyes and took some raspy breaths, letting the cold oxygen filled my lungs. I didn't bother trying to treat my bleeding wounds.

Using a tree as my support, I stood up. I can hear some shouting far from the village, so I decided to run, deeper into the dark, cold forest, ignoring my broken ankle. My feet began to bleed, but I couldn't care less.

And suddenly, something attacked me. It tackled me to the ground, and managed to slash through my right eye. I bit my lip, waiting for the creature to bite me to death.

Instead of killing me, the creature just let out a growl.

"What are you doing in our territory?!" he interrogate me.

I opened my eyes, to see a big black wolf standing on my body, his brown eyes glaring at me, his fangs ready to attack.

"I didn't mean to. Gomen, Mr. Wolf. You may kill me if you want." I told him, trying to crack a smile.

His eyes widened. He jumped off my body, motioning me to sat up. I did as what he told me, using my arms to support my weight. He stop growling, and walked around me, examining me with his menacing eyes.

"Don't you scared of me?" he asked slowly, as his gaze at me softened.

"Why should I?" I asked back, "You're not a monster. You're a wolf. And wolves are amazing. Besides, I think you're sool. I mean, look at this beautiful black fur! They're so soft! And your brown eyes, I love them!"

He smiled. "But I almost kill you." he stated softly.

I closed my eyes, letting out a sigh. "I'm not scared of death." I told him, as I dragged myself towards a nearby tree, and leaned on it.

"It doesn't change the fact that I hurt you." he muttered.

I smiled, ignoring the fact that some of the blood had found their way into my eye.

"And that doesn't mean I hate you." I added, petting his head.

"What's your name?"

"I don't have a name. But you can call me Three." I told him.

He let out a small chuckle.

"I'm Pyro."

It was silent for a while, until I asked him a simple question.

"So... does this means... friends?"

He gave me a soft smile.

"I guess we are, my friend."

*End of Flashbacks*

I opened my eyes, to see Naruto standing right in front of me, his face just 2 inch from mine.

In instinct, I slapped him.

"Itai! Itai! What was that for, dattebayo?!"

"For staring at me like that."

"Gomen... But do you have to slap me?!"

"It's just reflexes."

Hearing this, Pyro chuckled, while Sakura laughed, causing the Uzumaki to pout.

"Hn. Serves you right, dobe."

"Teme... just shut up, dattebayo!"

"Hn. Loser."

"Here starts the bickering." I muttered.

"They sounds like an old married couple." Pyro commented, with a smirk on his face.

"Sasuke-kun is not gay!" Sakura yelled. The boys stop bickering and starts watching us.

"Dream on, Haruno." I stated. Naruto began to laugh, Sakura clenched her fists, while the Uchiha's eyes twitched.

"Hi guys." Kakashi greeted all of a sudden.

"You're late!" Sakura and naruto yelled in Unison.

"Well, sorry, I got lost in the path of life-"

"Cut the bullshit already," I snapped, "let's just start."

"Alright." he said, smiling. I sighed and crossed my arms.

He pulled out 3 little bells from his pocket. Then he took an alarm clock and put it on one of the wooden posts.

"It sets for noon," he said, "you must take one of these bells before that, or you will be tied to one of the posts. You won't get lunch, and I will eat my food in front of you."

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's stomachs grumbled. Pyro let out a small chuckle, while I keep my emotionless facade. Deep inside, I was laughing with Zeiko.

"But Sensei! You have only 3 bells! There's 4 of us!"

Great way stating the obvious, Sakura.....

"Exactly. So the one who didn't get the bell would have to go back to the Academy." Kakashi explained.

Their eyes widen.

"Kunais, shurikens, you can use anything to attack me. But you have to come at me with the intent to kill."

"But those weapons are dangerous!" Sakura protested.

My eyes twitched. "Sakura, they are called weapons. They are made to be dangerous. Besides, kunais and shurikens are the most basic weapons."

"Three is right. Don't worry. Even if you use a sword, I won't die."

"Right... You can't even dodge that eraser, dattebayo!"

"Class clowns, losers. They're usually the one who always barks and never bite. The weakest among everyone. You can safely ignore them."

And that's enough to make the Uzumaki explode.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!" The blonde yelled, lunging at the jounin.

I want to laugh. What will the Fourth Hokage said, when he saw his son trying to kill his student?

It's quite amusing.

"Calm down. I haven't even said 'start' yet." Kakashi commented, as he caught Naruto fist. "But however, you came at me with the intent to kill, so... I'm starting to like you, guys!"

Kakashi's P.O.V.
I think I began to like my team.

Naruto is just like Kushina-san, loud and hyperactive. While Sasuke is a younger version of Itachi. Sakura reminds me of Rin.

And Three... I don't know.
Just... extraordinary.

"Alright... Ready, START!" I announced.

Sasuke immediately ran towards a tree, while Sakura hides behind a bush. Three dispersed as shadows, and Naruto stood still in front of me.

*Time skip*
When I finished taking care of Naruto, I heard a scoff. It was from Pyro.

"Why don't you take a bell?" I asked.

He let out a small grunt. "The only reason I'm staying in this place is just the mere fact that Three is here. No more. I don't care about her being a genin. I'm just following her."

"Why?"

"Because I owe her everything. I sworn my loyalty forever on her." He told me, with a distant look in his hazel eyes.

I sighed, as I walked away, while searching for my other students.

Three... just who the hell are you?!

Three's P.O.V.
This test is pointless! The Hatake expect us to have teamwork? Nonsense! It's impossible!

Well, since I have nothing else to do, might as well just give it a try.

'And to face the consequences of them spitting on your face.' Zeiko grumbled in my mind. I let out a sigh.

'Don't be such a pessimist, Zeiko. I doubt they would go that extreme.'

'Don't put your expectations too high. When you fall, it hurts more.'

'Whatever.' I muttered, as I walked towards Naruto, who is currently hanging upside down.

"Hey, Three!" he said, as soon as he saw me. I gave him a nod, and cut the rope off.

"Maybe we should work together to get the bells." I offered.

"Sorry, Three! But I will be the Hokage one day, so I have to do this on my own!"

I hold the urge to choke him to death, giving him a fake smile, while mumbling "It's fine."

It seems like he noticed my killing intent, that he raised his hands, and said, "Th-Thank you for releasing me, dattebayo."

I sighed. "Yeah. Whatever you say, Lord Hokage." I muttered, and teleported away, leaving him standing dumbfounded in front of the tree.

'See? I told you!' Zeiko yelled.

'He didn't spit on my face.' I replied calmly.

'But he did reject you!'

'Why are you being so sentimental?' I asked.

She scoffed. 'I hate them. All of them. They're too oblivious to their surroundings. Simply, they're brainless idiots.'

I stifled a laugh.

And, to ruin my mood, I heard Sakura's high pitched scream. In instinct, I covered my wolf ears with my hands, and gritted my teeth in pain.

"My poor eardrums..." I whined, scratching the soft grey fur on my ears, while making my way towards the pink haired girl.

When I found her, she was laying on the ground, unconscious.

'Seems like she was caught in a genjutsu'

'Yeah.' I replied, as I crouched down, grabbing a small stick nearby, and began to poke her flawless cheek.

It didn't took long to receive an answer.

"Aaaaahhh!!!"

There. She screamed again.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Releasing you from genjutsu." I calmly said, "Wanna work together? Maybe we can get the bells."

"No! I won't work with a freak like you! I have to find Sasuke-kun now!" she yelled, before standing upn and walked away.

I stood up, and scoffed.

'See? You also-'

'Enough, Zeiko.' I cut her off, 'I'm used to rejection.'

She let out a sigh. 'And you accept it?' she asked softly.

'Yes.' I said, before I heard another scream from our blossoming queen of opera.

"Now I agree, Zeiko." I muttered, as I walked towards the scream, "Brainless idiots."

She let out a chuckle, which increased into a laugh when we arrived at the scene.

Again, we saw a passed-out Sakura.

And a dead duck.

Just kidding. I saw Duck-butt's head popped out from the ground.

"Need help?" I ask. The only reason why am I being nice to him, is because he's Weasel's little brother.

"Hn. Just get me out of here." he grunted.

"I won't receive orders." I replied.

He glared at me.

"Fine," he muttered, "Three, can you please help me get out of here?" he replied slowly, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"I'm surprise you know how to say the word 'please'." I commented, before I bent down, and sent Zeiko's chakra through the ground, causing it to crack. Then I pulled him out with ease.

"Wanna try to get the bells together?" I offered.

"No."

"Why?"

"You're just going to slow me down."

Third Person's P.O.V.
"What?!" she exclaimed. How can this Uchiha be so arrogant?!

"Admit it, Three. You're weak. You just act like Miss-Know-It-All, like you can do everything, so that no one realize the fact that you always want to hide. The fact that you're just a trash, a waste of space. Nothing but a freak. A monster."

She remained impassive. She put her hands in her pocket, and let out a low bitter chuckle.

"Don't you realize that you had just act like Mr. Almighty? That makes you a hypocrite. You don't even know whom are you talking to." she said, as she turned away.

"A monster? Fool, not realizing it until now. I am one, ever since long time ago."

Then she disappeared.

Kakashi has been watching the whole conversation.To say that he was shocked is an understatement.

He was shocked that sasuke could say something like that.

And Three didn't even show any signs of hurt. She chuckled. How can she find the situation funny?

"Let me guess. You wonder why don't I get angry at him."

Kakashi turned, to find Three standing behind him.

He nodded at her question.

"I find it amusing when he tried to hurt me, even after I'm already broken beyond repair. He wants to kill a dead wolf. It's a useless attempt, right?"

Kakashi stayed silent. His gaze locked on her eyes. And sadly, he didn't find what he was looking for. There's no trace of emotion whatsoever in the pair of electric blue orbs.

Suddenly, she gave a large wolfish grin.

"Lemme give it a try, eh?" she asked, before she grabbed her scythe from her back.

Kakashi took a step back.

'Her chakra is different.' Kakashi thought, as he slowly put his book away, 'I can't play around now. She has already became a war veteran since her age was half of now.'

"Woof!" Three barked, taunting the Hatake.

Kakashi didn't budge. He couldn't let his guard down.

This, of course, lead to Zeiko laughing uncontrollably at the jounin's stiff posture, giving the assassin a great headache in the process.

The result?
A very-pissed-off 16-years-old assassin.

And when you saw one, you must run.

Because an angry girl is scary.

Plus, this one is a teenager.

Also a killer, a psychopath, and a member of an S-rank criminal organization.

And sadly, the Hatake doesn't know that. Instead, he decided to have the first move.
(Dear Kakashi, I gave you my deepest condolences.)

Kakashi starts making handsigns, and yelled, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Three's eyes switched to red. Blood red.

The fire never reached her. About 2 inches from her body, the fire died down.

Lesson #1: Never add fire on oil.

"Shadow Style: Absolute Barrier. Beats everything, including that fireball jutsu." Three stated.

Kakashi froze. Shadow Style? Only that clan has it! Could she be...

No, it's impossible. They were all murdered 11 years ago.

But 3 bodies were missing... she might be...

It couldn't be true. The age doesn't match. Their oldest daughter were 5 at that time. 11 years old, Three is only about a year old.

She still could have been hiding her real identity... And she looks like him... She has the 10-tails, too...

It must be her. She must be K-

Kakashi snapped out of his daze, when he felt a stab on his stomach.

"Daydreaming, Hatake?" About the Uchiha, or the Nohara? Maybe the Namikaze, and even the White Fang." she taunted, as she pulled her scythe off harshly from his large wound.

Lesson #2: Nostalgia is forbidden.

"Don't be shocked. They're all dead because of you, right? One day, you will die by the hands of your own friends. Your own students, even. It's called karma."

'Focus, Kakashi,' the Hatake told himself, 'She's trying to break you.'

"Use your Chidori! I want to know what Rin feels!" Three yelled.

Kakashi slowly shook his head, pulling out a kunai.

"You're too slow, Hatake. You should have used your Sharingan. You weren't called 'Copy Cat' for nothing."

"Just who the hell are you, Three...?" Kakashi muttered.

"Crystal Style: Weapon Smith!"

Hundreds of kunais, shurikens, senbons, and many more weapons appeared from the ground. They were all made of black crystal.

And before he can react, all those weapons had already lunged at him. But the pain never came.

All those kunais stopped when they touched his skin.

RING!!! The alarm clock went off.

The weapons fell to the ground, and disappeared.

Lesson #3: Don't fight a wolf.

Three smirked, putting her scythe back to it's sheath.

Kakashi fell on his knees, clutching his wound, losing blood.

"You lose." She stated, as she walked towards the Hatake.

"I know. Just take me to the others." Kakashi growled.

Three let out a small chuckle, as she grabbed the jounin's arm, slung in around her neck, before teleporting themselves away.

They appeared back at the training grounds, right in front of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.

The 3 genins let out a gasp when they saw their sensei's condition.

"S-Sensei?! What happened to you?!" Sakura shrieked.

Kakashi scoffed, as he slowly walked towards the wooden post, after unhooked his arm from Three.

He narrowed his eyes at the alarm clock.

12:15.

"Who sets up the clock?" the Hatake slightly growled.

"No one. I merely cast a genjutsu so that you hera the clock rang later than it should've been." Three calmly said.

"Tch." Kakashi muttered, glaring at the Inu, before turning his attention at the 3 academy student.

"Well, for the rest of you... You don't have to-"

"Just get to the point, Hatake." Three snapped. Her sleep deprivation is starting to show its effect.

"... You fail."

Three teleported away, not wanting to hear the lecture.

*Time skip*
Three's P.O.V.
"Yay! We pass! we pass! I'm a ninja, dattebayo!"

That yell managed to woken me up from my limited precious slumber. My eyes snapped open, and I stood up from my comfortable sitting position. Before Pyro can state any comment, I teleported, and appeared in front of the Uzumaki.

I grabbed his collar, and pulled him up onto my height.

"Do not shout like that, please be silent. So SHUT THE FUCK UP, UZUMAKI! You ruined my sleep, when I have an insomnia that allows me to sleep only 5 hours in 3 days. You shouldn't have woken me up. GOT IT?!"

Naruto flinched and avoided my glare, nodding frantically.

I smiled at him. "Thank you for your understanding." I said, before starts walking away.

"Wait."

I turned, to see Sasuke behind me.

"What is it, Sas-uke?" I asked calmly, voice full of venom.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say all those things. It just slipped out off my tongue and-"

"Don't bother to apologize," I cut him off, grabbing his collar, pinning him on a nearby tree, "Why do you even say sorry, if I won't forgive you?"

"W-What?!"

"You really need my forgiveness? Then I want you to realize mistake."

"What do you mean?"

I leaned forward and whispered to his ear, "You mustn't kill Itachi."

And he immediately kicked him. I let him go, as I landed on the ground.

"How do you know him?! Where is he now?!"

I chuckled, and sat up.

"I never say I know. I'm just saying that you should not kill him. Because everything happens for a reason. You think a loving brother can turn into a heartless murderer in one night?"

"It was all an act!" the Uchiha yelled , tackling me to the ground, clenching his fist.

"No one can keep an act for years. Even if they do, they will eventually got attached."

He tried to punch me, but I moved my head aside, dodging it.

"Why do you even care?" He growled between his gritted teeth.

I sighed, and locked my gaze to his onyx orbs.

"Because I understand. No one can hate their little siblings. I have a little brother, too. I killed the clan, but I let him live.

"Y-You killed your own clan?!"

I nodded.

His eyes widened, before he stood up, and yelled, "You monster!"

Then he ran away.

I let out a soft chuckle. So, he's afraid, huh? It's amusing.
